We board our Sun Odyssey 44<\/b><\/a> sailing boat and depart from the port of Catania, overlooking Mount Etna, for our half-day sailing boat trip in Catania<\/b>.<\/p>

The first stop on our boat tour is the Caves of Ulysses<\/b>, where you will have the opportunity to take your first sea bath<\/b> of the day. The Ulysses Caves were formed under a beautiful volcanic lava cliff overlooking the sea. The colours of the seabed are wonderful, ranging from blue to green to blue, and the water is of extraordinary transparency.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Ulysses Caves also lend themselves to snorkelling<\/b>, provided you have brought masks<\/b> and fins<\/b>on board.<\/p>

While sailing to Acitrezza<\/b>, we will pass under the Norman Castle<\/b><\/a> of Acicastello<\/b>, where there will also be the opportunity to dive into the sea with a spectacular view of the castle. We will also admire the characteristic ‘pillow lavas<\/b>‘ that can be found under the castle and that were formed as a result of the rapid cooling of lava, from underwater volcanic eruptions, with seawater.<\/p>

Once in Acitrezza<\/b>, in the heart of the Isole Ciclopi<\/b> marine protected area<\/b><\/a>, our boat tour takes a break. There will be an opportunity to disembark from the sailboat and enjoy a short excursion to the fishing village<\/b>.<\/p>

After the usual stop for a swim, an aperitif on board with various snacks<\/b> and white wine<\/b> will be offered.<\/p>

During the return leg of our half-day<\/b> sailing excursion<\/b>, it will be possible to enjoy a final dip in the sea with a view of Mount Etna volcano (weather and sea conditions permitting).<\/p>

Return to the Port of Catania around and end of our boat tour.<\/p>
